This video describes the role of the fermentation process in the creation of biological products and illustrates commercial-scale fermentation at a cellular level. Included are descriptions of types of fermentation (intracellular, extracellular), types of cells (aerobic, anaerobic), and cell nutrition (media components).
The program follows the production of a batch of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from preparation through harvesting, including growth of seed stock, scaling up, and life cycle growth pattern phases (lag, exponential/log, stationary, death). Featured throughout is the monitoring of various production process parameters, including time, temperature, pressure, pH, agitation, etc.

Brunswick Community College's (BCC) Center for Aquaculture and Biotechnology (CAB) has implemented a Biofuels from Algae project as a joint effort between the departments of Aquaculture and Biotechnology. This included the design and construction of an 1800 gallon photobioreactor system during phase 1 of the project. Phase II focused on the downstream processing of oil extraction. BCC's CAB has a patent pending status on this process, which is purely mechanical, easily scalable and relatively cheap to implement. The final phase of the project (pending funding) will optimize and refine the oil extraction process, which will give us the opportunity to file a full patent, license the patent to industry or develop a trade secret with an industry partner, which will quickly move the process to commercialization. If the final phase is funded we will also obtain data on the yield of oil production, yield to biodiesel conversion, chemical composition of the extracted oil and determine the best species for use in the process developed at BCC.

http://www.euronews.com/ Using biotechnology to fight pollution is the challenge for a European Union research project. Under the spotlight - a specific kind of moss.
At the University of Freiburg in Germany, a team of biologists is growing moss, in a controlled environment.
Mosses are especially well suited as bio-indicators for airborne contaminants as they have no roots and a very high surface-to-mass ratio.
Eva Decker, of the university's Faculty of Biology, explained: "We use moss, because, by mass, it has a huge surface area. You can see all the structures and it can clean the dirt particles out of the air. Moss has shoots or spores, and from one of these spores you can grow a new plant. And using these spores we started to cultivate new plants in the laboratory."
Monitoring the levels of nitrogen and sulphur oxides, as sell as airborne heavy metals like cadmium, lead and nickel, is hard to achieve with existing technologies as they are either imprecise or very expensive.
One innovation is the cultivation of huge amounts of a peat moss under controlled laboratory conditions.
Ralf Reski, at the Faculty of Biology at the University of Freiburg told euronews: "We not only reduce the plant's genetic variability to the smallest possible level - one single genetic clone - but also through controlling conditions in the moss bio-reactor we can guarantee that the level of pollution in the moss, as well as its growth, are always identical. And you cannot obtain this consistency with material you have just collected from nature."
The moss plants are transferred to air-permeable bags, then moved to monitoring stations at a variety of different European locations where they absorb pollutants from the air.
This technique is currently being tested in Santiago di Compostela, Spain.
Carlos Brais Carballeira Braña, from the Faculty of Biology, at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain said: "Three different samples are exposed for three weeks in order to accumulate all the pollutants in the area, in this case from passing cars or industrial plant, but primarily it'll be general road traffic"
Following that exposure, the moss is dried and powdered, then analysed, to measure the levels of different pollutants in it.
This approach, combining molecular biology and material sciences with ecology and bionics, could be, in the future, extended to other critical environmental contexts.
José Angel Fernández Escribano at the Faculty of Biology, University of Santiago de Compostela, said the plan is to expand the habitats where this principle is used including rivers, fields and industrial areas.
He explained the thinking behind that: "These contaminants can affect rivers, which then flow into the sea, and pollute the marine environment. It will be possible to develop these tools and to discover all the pollutants that are affecting the whole ecosystem."

I was filming.
This was a research project I did with a friend when I was a sophomore in college, so it was from a few years ago. We made an algae bioreactor out of 2L coke bottles, sterilized them with alcohol, then put in sterile salt water growth media and inoculated with some nanochloropsis we got as a sample from a marine bio lab.
We had it on a light cycle and always aerating through a series of tubes we hooked up to sterile pipettes, capped with sterile cotton plugs.
Once the growth was dense enough, we tried to figure out how to best filter the algae, and read that NaOH caused aggregation of the cells. We tried that and it worked, made the clumps easier to filter.
After we recovered our algae, we macerated it in liquid nitrogen and sand and did a sohxlet extraction on it.
I will put together that footage now, it's kind of scattered and old but it was a neat proof of concept. A lot of work for not a lot of oil in the end, but was a good learning experience.

The moss plants are transferred to air-permeable bags, then moved to monitoring stations at a variety of different European locations where they absorb pollutants from the air.
This technique is currently being tested in Santiago di Compostela, Spain.
Carlos Brais Carballeira Braña, from the Faculty of Biology, at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain said: "Three different samples are exposed for three weeks in order to accumulate all the pollutants in the area, in this case from passing cars or industrial plant, but primarily it'll be general road traffic"

Mosses are especially well suited as bio-indicators for airborne contaminants as they have no roots and a very high surface-to-mass ratio.
Eva Decker, of the university's Faculty of Biology, explained: "We use moss, because, by mass, it has a huge surface area. You can see all the structures and it can clean the dirt particles out of the air. Moss has shoots or spores, and from one of these spores you can grow a new plant. And using these spores we started to cultivate new plants in the laboratory."

Homeade algae bio-reactor with NaOH flocculation for oil extraction

I was filming.
This was a research project I did with a friend when I was a sophomore in college, so it was from a few years ago. We made an algae bioreactor out of 2L coke bottles, sterilized them with alcohol, then put in sterile salt water growth media and inoculated with some nanochloropsis we got as a sample from a marine bio lab.
We had it on a light cycle and always aerating through a series of tubes we hooked up to sterile pipettes, capped with sterile cotton plugs.
Once the growth was dense enough, we tried to figure out how to best filter the algae, and read that NaOH caused aggregation of the cells. We tried that and it worked, made the clumps easier to filter.
After we recovered our algae, we macerated it in liquid nitrogen and sand and did a sohxlet extraction on it.

We recently had two animations aired at the Royal Society's Summer Exhibition. The Royal Society is the national academy of science of the UK, and this event allowed the general public to meet the minds behind some of the UK's most exciting scientific advances. We produced two videos for the University of Cambridge's Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, showcasing their development work on producing green electricity directly from algae. One of only 31 teams selected to present their research. Very clever science!

This video describes the role of the fermentation process in the creation of biological products and illustrates commercial-scale fermentation at a cellular level. Included are descriptions of types of fermentation (intracellular, extracellular), types of cells (aerobic, anaerobic), and cell nutrition (media components).
The program follows the production of a batch of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from preparation through harvesting, including growth of seed stock, scaling up, and life cycle growth pattern phases (lag, exponential/log, stationary, death). Featured throughout is the monitoring of various production process parameters, including time, temperature, pressure, pH, agitation, etc.

Brunswick Community College's (BCC) Center for Aquaculture and Biotechnology (CAB) has implemented a Biofuels from Algae project as a joint effort between the departments of Aquaculture and Biotechnology. This included the design and construction of an 1800 gallon photobioreactor system during phase 1 of the project. Phase II focused on the downstream processing of oil extraction. BCC's CAB has a patent pending status on this process, which is purely mechanical, easily scalable and relatively cheap to implement. The final phase of the project (pending funding) will optimize and refine the oil extraction process, which will give us the opportunity to file a full patent, license the patent to industry or develop a trade secret with an industry partner, which will quickly move the process to commercialization. If the final phase is funded we will also obtain data on the yield of oil production, yield to biodiesel conversion, chemical composition of the extracted oil and determine the best species for use in the process developed at BCC.

http://www.euronews.com/ Using biotechnology to fight pollution is the challenge for a European Union research project. Under the spotlight - a specific kind of moss.
At the University of Freiburg in Germany, a team of biologists is growing moss, in a controlled environment.
Mosses are especially well suited as bio-indicators for airborne contaminants as they have no roots and a very high surface-to-mass ratio.
Eva Decker, of the university's Faculty of Biology, explained: "We use moss, because, by mass, it has a huge surface area. You can see all the structures and it can clean the dirt particles out of the air. Moss has shoots or spores, and from one of these spores you can grow a new plant. And using these spores we started to cultivate new plants in the laboratory."
Monitoring the levels of nitrogen and sulphur oxides, as sell as airborne heavy metals like cadmium, lead and nickel, is hard to achieve with existing technologies as they are either imprecise or very expensive.
One innovation is the cultivation of huge amounts of a peat moss under controlled laboratory conditions.
Ralf Reski, at the Faculty of Biology at the University of Freiburg told euronews: "We not only reduce the plant's genetic variability to the smallest possible level - one single genetic clone - but also through controlling conditions in the moss bio-reactor we can guarantee that the level of pollution in the moss, as well as its growth, are always identical. And you cannot obtain this consistency with material you have just collected from nature."
The moss plants are transferred to air-permeable bags, then moved to monitoring stations at a variety of different European locations where they absorb pollutants from the air.
This technique is currently being tested in Santiago di Compostela, Spain.
Carlos Brais Carballeira Braña, from the Faculty of Biology, at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain said: "Three different samples are exposed for three weeks in order to accumulate all the pollutants in the area, in this case from passing cars or industrial plant, but primarily it'll be general road traffic"
Following that exposure, the moss is dried and powdered, then analysed, to measure the levels of different pollutants in it.
This approach, combining molecular biology and material sciences with ecology and bionics, could be, in the future, extended to other critical environmental contexts.
José Angel Fernández Escribano at the Faculty of Biology, University of Santiago de Compostela, said the plan is to expand the habitats where this principle is used including rivers, fields and industrial areas.
He explained the thinking behind that: "These contaminants can affect rivers, which then flow into the sea, and pollute the marine environment. It will be possible to develop these tools and to discover all the pollutants that are affecting the whole ecosystem."

I will put together that footage now, it's kind of scattered and old but it was a neat proof of concept. A lot of work for not a lot of oil in the end, but was a good learning experience.

Michio Kaku: The Universe in a Nutshell (Full Presentation)

What if we could find one single equation that explains every force in the universe? Dr. Michio Kaku explores how physicists may shrink the science of the Big Bang into an equation as small as Einstein's "e=mc^2." Thanks to advances in string theory, physics may allow us to escape the heat death of the universe, explore the multiverse, and unlock the secrets of existence. While firing up our imaginations about the future, Kaku also presents a succinct history of physics and makes a compelling case for why physics is the key to pretty much everything.

Unit 8200 is an elite branch of the Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, that specializes in computer security and murkier, more controversial stuff, such as espionage and cyber attacks. The Unit resembles the National Security Agency (NSA) in the U.S. So it’s not that surprising that Unit 8200 and the IDF would give rise to clever, interesting tech startups. What’s remarkable is how Israel has turned its soldiers into entrepreneurs. Today, Israel has about 5,500 startups, and it added 1,400 new ones just last year. It has become a world leader not just in security but in chip, printing, biotech, and corporate software, as well. In this episode of Hello WorldBloomberg Businessweek’s Ashlee Vance goes to Israel to discover how the IDF became such an efficient technology engine.

Fed-batch culture is, in the broadest sense, defined as an operational technique in biotechnological processes where one or more nutrients (substrates) are fed (supplied) to the bioreactor during cultivation and in which the product(s) remain in the bioreactor until the end of the run.[1] It is also known as semi-batch culture. In some cases, all the nutrients are fed into the bioreactor. The advantage of the fed-batch culture is that one can control concentration of fed-substrate in the culture liquid at arbitrarily desired levels ( in many cases, at low levels).
Generally speaking, fed-batch culture is superior to conventional batch culture when controlling concentrations of a nutrient (or nutrients) affect the yield or productivity of the desired metabolite.
The types of bioprocesses for which fed-batch culture is effective can be summarized as follows:
1. Substrate inhibition[1]
Nutrients such as methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, and aromatic compounds inhibit the growth of microorganisms even at relatively low concentrations. By adding such substrates properly lag-time can be shortened and the inhibition of the cell growth markedly reduced.
2. High cell density (High cell concentration)[1]
To achieve very high cell concentrations, e.g. 50-100 g of dry cells/L, in a batch culture a high initial concentrations of the nutrients in the medium are needed. At such high concentrations of the nutrients become inhibitory, even though they have no such effect at the normal concentrations used in batch cultures.

He explained the thinking behind that: "These contaminants can affect rivers, which then flow into the sea, and pollute the marine environment. It will be possible to develop these tools and to discover all the pollutants that are affecting the whole ecosystem."

Homeade algae bio-reactor with NaOH flocculation for oil extraction

I was filming.
This was a research project I did with a friend when I was a sophomore in college, so it was from a few years ago. We made an algae bioreactor out of 2L coke bottles, sterilized them with alcohol, then put in sterile salt water growth media and inoculated with some nanochloropsis we got as a sample from a marine bio lab.
We had it on a light cycle and always aerating through a series of tubes we hooked up to sterile pipettes, capped with sterile cotton plugs.
Once the growth was dense enough, we tried to figure out how to best filter the algae, and read that NaOH caused aggregation of the cells. We tried that and it worked, made the clumps easier to filter.
After we recovered our algae, we macerated it in liquid nitrogen and sand and did a sohxlet extraction on it.
I will put together that footage now, it's kind of scattered and old but it was a neat proof of concept. A lot of work for not a lot of oil in the end, but was a good learning experience.

We recently had two animations aired at the Royal Society's Summer Exhibition. The Royal Society is the national academy of science of the UK, and this event allowed the general public to meet the minds behind some of the UK's most exciting scientific advances. We produced two videos for the University of Cambridge's Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, showcasing their development work on producing green electricity directly from algae. One of only 31 teams selected to present their research. Very clever science!

Bioprocessing Part 1: Fermentation

This video describes the role of the fermentation process in the creation of biological products and illustrates commercial-scale fermentation at a cellular level. Included are descriptions of types of fermentation (intracellular, extracellular), types of cells (aerobic, anaerobic), and cell nutrition (media components).
The program follows the production of a batch of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from preparation through harvesting, including growth of seed stock, scaling up, and life cycle growth pattern phases (lag, exponential/log, stationary, death). Featured throughout is the monitoring of various production process parameters, including time, temperature, pressure, pH, agitation, etc.

Biofuels from Algae Project - Brunswick Community College Center for Aquaculture & Biotechnology

Brunswick Community College's (BCC) Center for Aquaculture and Biotechnology (CAB) has implemented a Biofuels from Algae project as a joint effort between the departments of Aquaculture and Biotechnology. This included the design and construction of an 1800 gallon photobioreactor system during phase 1 of the project. Phase II focused on the downstream processing of oil extraction. BCC's CAB has a patent pending status on this process, which is purely mechanical, easily scalable and relatively cheap to implement. The final phase of the project (pending funding) will optimize and refine the oil extraction process, which will give us the opportunity to file a full patent, license the patent to industry or develop a trade secret with an industry partner, which will quickly move the process to commercialization. If the final phase is funded we will also obtain data on the yield of oil production, yield to biodiesel conversion, chemical composition of the extracted oil and determine the best species for use in the process developed at BCC.

Biotechnology to fight air pollution - futuris

http://www.euronews.com/ Using biotechnology to fight pollution is the challenge for a European Union research project. Under the spotlight - a specific kind of moss.
At the University of Freiburg in Germany, a team of biologists is growing moss, in a controlled environment.
Mosses are especially well suited as bio-indicators for airborne contaminants as they have no roots and a very high surface-to-mass ratio.
Eva Decker, of the university's Faculty of Biology, explained: "We use moss, because, by mass, it has a huge surface area. You can see all the structures and it can clean the dirt particles out of the air. Moss has shoots or spores, and from one of these spores you can grow a new plant. And using these spores we started to cultivate new plants in the laboratory."
Monitoring the levels of nitrogen and sulphur oxides, as sell as airborne heavy metals like cadmium, lead and nickel, is hard to achieve with existing technologies as they are either imprecise or very expensive.
One innovation is the cultivation of huge amounts of a peat moss under controlled laboratory conditions.
Ralf Reski, at the Faculty of Biology at the University of Freiburg told euronews: "We not only reduce the plant's genetic variability to the smallest possible level - one single genetic clone - but also through controlling conditions in the moss bio-reactor we can guarantee that the level of pollution in the moss, as well as its growth, are always identical. And you cannot obtain this consistency with material you have just collected from nature."
The moss plants are transferred to air-permeable bags, then moved to monitoring stations at a variety of different European locations where they absorb pollutants from the air.
This technique is currently being tested in Santiago di Compostela, Spain.
Carlos Brais Carballeira Braña, from the Faculty of Biology, at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain said: "Three different samples are exposed for three weeks in order to accumulate all the pollutants in the area, in this case from passing cars or industrial plant, but primarily it'll be general road traffic"
Following that exposure, the moss is dried and powdered, then analysed, to measure the levels of different pollutants in it.
This approach, combining molecular biology and material sciences with ecology and bionics, could be, in the future, extended to other critical environmental contexts.
José Angel Fernández Escribano at the Faculty of Biology, University of Santiago de Compostela, said the plan is to expand the habitats where this principle is used including rivers, fields and industrial areas.

Fed-batch culture is, in the broadest sense, defined as an operational technique in biotechnological processes where one or more nutrients (substrates) are fed (supplied) to the bioreactor during cultivation and in which the product(s) remain in the bioreactor until the end of the run.[1] It is also known as semi-batch culture. In some cases, all the nutrients are fed into the bioreactor. The advantage of the fed-batch culture is that one can control concentration of fed-substrate in the culture liquid at arbitrarily desired levels ( in many cases, at low levels).
Generally speaking, fed-batch culture is superior to conventional batch culture when controlling concentrations of a nutrient (or nutrients) affect the yield or productivity of the desired metabolite.
The types of bioprocesses for which fed-batch culture is effective can be summarized as follows:
1. Substrate inhibition[1]
Nutrients such as methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, and aromatic compounds inhibit the growth of microorganisms even at relatively low concentrations. By adding such substrates properly lag-time can be shortened and the inhibition of the cell growth markedly reduced.
2. High cell density (High cell concentration)[1]
To achieve very high cell concentrations, e.g. 50-100 g of dry cells/L, in a batch culture a high initial concentrations of the nutrients in the medium are needed. At such high concentrations of the nutrients become inhibitory, even though they have no such effect at the normal concentrations used in batch cultures.

Unit 8200 is an elite branch of the Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, that specializes in computer security and murkier, more controversial stuff, such as espionage and cyber attacks. The Unit resembles the National Security Agency (NSA) in the U.S. So it’s not that surprising that Unit 8200 and the IDF would give rise to clever, interesting tech startups. What’s remarkable is how Israel has turned its soldiers into entrepreneurs. Today, Israel has about 5,500 startups, and it added 1,400 new ones just last year. It has become a world leader not just in security but in chip, printing, biotech, and corporate software, as well. In this episode of Hello WorldBloomberg Businessweek’s Ashlee Vance goes to Israel to discover how the IDF became such an efficient technology engine.
